There was less activity in the hop market

mind. Offerings continued free.
Among th purchasers reported were the
nclalr lot of 9H bales and th MeKnlgbt
of 54 bales, both at Hltlsboro, taken by
i rNeff, Bros. Hal Bolam bought four lots
-:gregatlng 193 bales at lO and Id cents.

om Frank Bolder, ot Brooks.
Klaber. Wolf A N'etter received the follow-
' g cab I front their London office:
"Continental market haa Improving tend-
icy; holders asking higher prices. KngUsh
: arkat dull, prices unchansed."
Cattley, Grid ley A Co.. one ot th largest
his In London, do not look for high prices
i Is season. Their reasons are given in
fir annual circular, a copy of which has
n received here and is In part aa follows-
Crops Consitlerlne; the cold and sunless
niimer experienced both In bneiuid and on
e Couttn-nl. growers of hoya should b
ngratulated upon the result of their ef-
rts. The nualitv 1 extremely various.

lunty Fa m nam districts, seem to hive Je
I -lipd bfttvr and show excellent results.

it second rate quslitlfs .ire plentiful. The
orttnrnt of Europe is rather more favored
oth In quantity and quality, and conslder-.-t'e
Imports can be anticipated. On th
! aelflc Coait good crops are also being
Lihend. and doobtlesa there will be ample
jpoilea avallsbie for Enaiand as required.
I onsumers may therefore fairly reckon upon
Irons heinj.- sufficient for requirements, and
only caue for anxiety. If any, will b In
rtnv-ti n with the home growth.
Markots Fair supplies from Worcester
Lnd Sussex ar already being offered, and
quit k drmand has set in for bright
ill thy samples. Continental centers are
1 !o busy, demand not only being quick for
nmm consumption, but also for export to
n gland and America. It Is too. early as
L et for the Pacific Coast market to affect
he position, as few samples are yet to band.
.n1 me uncertainty still prevails a to tn
roportton of choice quality which will b
vatlalil for export.
Tb general position Is certainly e rudder -
My more favorable to consumers than !a?t
I nr. though their reserve stocks are much
hiore limited. Vseful second-rate English.
vhich are plentiful, together with available
I applies of foreign, will materially assist In
keeping the English market from any ex-
ItetiK-nL On th other hand, brie lit ana
t.eslthy samples ar much scarcer than last
tear and values being not at all u n reason -
f Me. it appears probable that this rtsss will
Malm early attention, as we presume that
iwer class qimlttv will not be taken for
holding over and cold storage. Last year we
rivtwed otir friends to buy as sparingly as
l-osible of the choice high-priced English
This year our opinion Is that t hey
t hould not delay to secure their require
ments of bright and healthy English for all
purposes. Purrhasea of medium useful qual
ms v. w think, with aa vantage, w oe-
tsved later. h-n value of such will b
ela lively fearer in comparison with th
hex tor grad - of English and foreign hope-
fry few EngMh of last year's growth ar
-ft. and this fact, coupled with the scarcity
i f oldor English, makes the position of the
I om market, In our opinion, sound and llke-
I to remain at least firm at present currency
the limited quantity of really bright
tvell-grown new hop.

Sales Made by Northwestern Fruit
Exchange Net Far Better Than
Auction Deals.
The dally market bulletin of the North
western Fruit Exchange follows:
Apples The situation Is practically on
chanjred. although there la a slff-htly easier
tendency. This Is emphasized by the dispo
sition on the part -of the trade to be more
critical, and fruit not coming up to speci
fications la not wanted.
We have made several very fine sales
of Jonathan apples. We have sold car U.
X. IHH14 from Canhmere. "Wash., fith, eon
talnlcs; 313 3 ft -tier. 177 4 -tier. 4 to-
tier, 7 C-tler Jonathans; 401 extra fancy,
and 199 fancy, ar $165 strafprht, f. o. b.
Cashmere, for ali aradea and sizes. We
have sold car P. F. E. 4HH. Jonathans,
from Holse, Idnho. containing 427 fancy,
at $1 V 217 choice at $l.r.o f. o. b. We
hare sold car P. F. R. 7504, Jonathans,
from boise. 9th. 173 8to-tler, 14.1 4 H -tier.
41 Re, 144 J Urn. 'i n is car is aescriDea as
belns liKht color, and we have sold it at
$1 T0 stratrht. f. e. b., this offer having
been submitted to and acepted by the own
er of the fruit.
Eastern Markets by wire we rive here
under Kastern delivered prices, accord lug- to
the telearaohlc reports of our scents. We
want to call special attention to the fact
that these auction sales have no reference
whatever to our own operations, but refer
to prices at which fruit sold In the open
market. We have no direct Interest what
ever In these sales, the shipments navinir
been made by parlies entirely ourside of
the exchange. Iellbemtelr or otherwl!e.
certain newspapers have published reports
f these auction operations Indira tine that
wa were responsible for prices realized. This
both unfair and untrue. We have sev
eral times stated In our bulletins that the
policy of this exchange is not to sell fancy
aonles at auction. There are tlms when.
because of certain emergency conditions. It
necessary to sll a car quirk It. and In
such instances the auction frequently offers
the best outlet, but this In quite unusual
and we have been successful In avoiding it
practically aitogetner. i ne prices men
tioned hereunder are those which were
realised in the open market at Chicago yes
terday: Six cars boxed apples sold at auction,
most I v Idaho : three car a of Jonathans
ranged from $1.40 to J1.7.V Grime Ooldn,
tum to th'X One car of Watsonville
Bojiflowrrs sold 91.30. The Jonathans were
very poor to-K.
NEW YORK. Oct- 11. The speculation In
stocks threw off some of the restraint today
which has kept it In check. The fresh i
tlvity was most conspicuous in a variety
specialties, not usual I v nromlnent in th
dealings, and manr of these were of the
low -priced nnn-ulvidend paying class.
a reason for this was found In the na:
rnw resources of the money market.
was generally assumed that newly-formed
murket pools were responsible for most
the demonstrations.
The supposition that powerful prtva
Mincers were supplying resources ana l
fluence to help the advance encouraged
following by the professional element.
The call loan rate today touched to per
cent as an effect of the slightly increased
demand Incident to the day's spec via tire
requirement.
Yesterday's Government crop report fur
nTehed the broad general Inspiration for the
stirring of speculative confidence. The spe
cial prominence of the Spring wheat and
corn crops, as they were affected by yes
terday's report, found reflection In the
strength in the granaers. International Mar
vester. Corn Products and other stocks. The
Northwestern railway group got the benefit
of criticisms levelled at the lumber rates
fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion In a judicial decision by the Federal
circuit Court in St. .Paul, disallowing th
rates.
A belief that an agreement had been
reached on the cotton bill of lading contro
versy helped the late stock market and svlso
caused a fresh decline in the foreign ex
chsngo market.
